All will go well! Best of luck to u! :wub:

When I was on my pre-op diet i had a hard time too. So what I did was only eat something like boneless/skinless chicken once a day and I would bake it with cream of chicken soup the fat free one and it was really good and I still lost 20lbs before my surgery too! And I never told my doctor that I did cheat on my pre-op diet. But just make sure u stay on ur clear liquid diet 24 hr. before ur surgery cause they do ask what have u had in the last 24hr. Best of luck to u!

omg.....DRAMA! ...........lol Well I think that every child that has step-parents goes through this. Also if there where the same rules at each parents homes then they would of never sperated. So it seems like she is trying to control ur household. Just tell her how it works in ur home. Best of luck to u!

Well on May 8 it will be 4 months since I have been banded. I have had 2 fills the first on I got 3cc n it did not make any difference. I was still hungery.:wink:
So I got my second fill, I got 2cc. And the first week it worked and the second week too! But now 4 weeks later im back to being hungery and able to eat anything!:wub:
I dont let myself eat anything but it is getting harder and harder to control!
As for my weight loss it has come to a STAND STILL! It has been like this for 2 weeks now! But I have lost a total of 41lbs. Cant complane about that. I just guess I thought that it would happen faster than this.
I see my doc on Wed. Then I can get an appt. for my fill. I hope the third fill is the charm! Well best of luck to everyone!

I got started by looking on the internet for a doctor near me. Also it depends if u r a self-pay or ur insurence will pay. My insurence paid but I had to go to all the support groups atleast 6 and testing and spicalest approvles too. But I have heard self-pay ppl dont have to go through all that. Some even get there surgery in a months time. As for my insurence I had to wait 6 months. But it the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Best of luck to u. I hope I helped u out a lil.

I had to be on a full liquid diet for 10 day before surgery and the day before surgery I had to be on clear liquids. With my doc it depends on ur BMI.
Best of luck to u!

Did u have a pre-op diet? Cause that is where I lost some of my weight till I got my fills started. Everyone is different it just takes time to start losing. Ur body need time to adjust. It will all come together and u will be fine. The best support is the chat room on this site. They will answer all of ur questions. And as far as the issue with the going to the bathroom (bm) we all go through it. I still have issues with it. Call ur doc and see what u should take to help with it. I take maralax I got it in wallmart it is an over the counter med works in like a day or less. Best of luck to u!

I was banded about 4 months ago and the gas pain is the worst part of the whole thing! I just used a heating pad n walked alot, also get some gas-x strips (they melt in ur mouth)Gas-x helped a lil but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Oh......the gas pain will last about 3 days once it is over u feel so much better and the incisions dont even hurt.
Best of luck to u!

The hardest part is learning how to stay away from those sweets. I still have an issue with it! Why is it that after u eat the sweets u feel so wrong for eating it? I can too get them down with no problem. I do get that pain in the chest if i eat to fast or something is dry. But I need to learn to control myself from the choc n sweets!(HELP).........lol
Best of luck to u,

In the end it is all up to what u want. I had the same issue but i chose the lapband. They both do the same thing make u lose weight n they both r a tool. So it is just a matter of what works best for u! Best of luck to u!

I think a lot of us get the lapband for the same reson u did, well at least I did. But in the long run it well help us out for the better! As for the wii fit............lol (sorry) My kids have the wii but I need to invest in the Wii fit. My kids tried it n loved it. It might just have to be a gift for us all! Best of luck to u!

Im sure no matter what weight loss surgery u chose u will have to watch what u eat, with gastric bypass or lapband. It is all up to u to do the work! I have seen some ppl who had the bypass and lose realy fast but also put it right back on too. But as for the lapband u can go n get a fill to help u out again! It all depends on the person. Best of luck to u!
Another fill.....then TOO TIGHT!
